The appointee must submit documentation demonstrating linguistic breadth in their research and instructional work.

It is desirable that the applicant has experience with and/or interest in developing and using digital teaching resources in their instruction. Applicants must submit documented relevant practical-pedagogical competency based on education or instruction and supervision. Applicants who cannot at the time of appointment document this basic level of competency must acquire it within two years of their appointment, for example by completing the university’s course in university pedagogics. Applicants possessing pedagogical qualifications beyond a basic competency level may have a competitive advantage during the ranking of professionally/academically competent applicants.
